Because we are all into a ocean big data. And we need math to elaborate so many data.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main tasks of the school is teach students proper and good use of technologies. In my first class, I don't use computer, at the moment to teach math, because my pupils are too young, immature.

# data[].attributes.body
Jeremy Posey, the mathematics coordinator for the National Math + Science Initiative, defines education technology as “any tool that can be used to help promote human learning, including – but not limited to – calculators, tablets, Smart Boards, video cameras, digital cameras, MP3 players, Portable Digital Assistants (PDAs), and, of course, the computer.”

There is certainly a growing, changing role of the college professor from a sage-on-the-stage to a more interactive designer of instruction and classroom experience. This can be a fantastic opportunity for you to experiment and grow in realms you perhaps hadn’t originally considered.

The Pros

1.      Using technology in the classroom allows you to experiment more in pedagogy.

2.      There are countless resources for enhancing education and making learning more fun and effective.

3.      Technology can automate a lot of your tedious tasks.

4.      Your class has instant access to information that can supplement their learning experience.

5.      Students can learn life skills through technology.

6.      We live in a digital world.

The Cons

1.      Technology can be a distraction.

2.      Possible disconnect of social interaction.

3.      Technology can foster more cheating in class and on assignments.

4.      Students do not have equal access to technological resources.

5.      The quality of research and sources they find may not be top-notch.

6.      Lesson planning can become more labor intensive with technology.

Technology in this context includes computers with appropriate mathematical software, Internet and other digital resources, handheld computing tools and their extensions, and future and emerging forms of similar devices and applications. Technology can be used in a variety of ways to improve and enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. It can be used to facilitate mathematical discovery, understanding, and connections that may be difficult or impossible without its use. The computational and graphical capabilities of current technologies enable users to efficiently generate and manipulate a variety of representations of mathematical ideas and processes.

# data[].attributes.body
Technologies are a very important tools during learning. I always use them as much as possible in a huge part of my activities. They make teaching and learning easier.

They can be used as mediators In Teaching and Learning mathematical Processes starting from meaningful areas for students.
by this way they have an easier access to several contents in order to improve logical activities and they can compare with other students of other schools. Pupils using technologies will be totally immersed in what they are doing.

I use my tablet to show videos, in-depth analysis of the text because I think the lessons can be boring

# data[].attributes.body
This video is fantastic and I fully agree. In my classes i use tecnology as much as possible, because there is no computers to work in every lessons. There is one PC per classroom, generally for teachers .
Althought it is not easy I go on using, improving with new websites, new apps to work on, new ressources in order to envolve students and prepare them for the future.
And that's why I am in this course.
Parents are not in this mood, also. Paper is a kind of thin that is the real "world" of learning, in spite of tecnologies. We need to work with parents too.

# data[].attributes.body
in my lessons I mix itc with frontal lesson

# data[].attributes.body
I use technology, when is possible, in my class,  not to teach math, but to support teaching with the help of many resources.  We don't have internet at school, so I bring my own internet key.  In my opinion there are many reason to use technology. It is intersting and pupils have fun, for example.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital technologies can help us teach Maths because they provide creative and innovative resources and strategies. There are many websites witch deal with mathematical problems: starting from real-life experiences they furnish exhaustive explanations and show how things work.

To motivate my students and make them more involved to the lesson. And also to make math subjects more visual.

# data[].attributes.body
I use technologies to attract students .

# data[].attributes.body
I work in a technical school in which technology is very important, my students are often better than me with computer, I think it is essential to understand that education is changing and we can not continue to work in the same way as we did in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't use new technologies in class as often as I would like to do it. However, now I am using a blogg to show my students the solutions of the activities that they are asked to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital technologies should be used properly.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion digital technologies in Maths are very useful, not only because in this way Maths should be more interesting, but also because, with their use, some topics are better understood.
I also agree with Wolfram when he says that students should be able to solve real problems, and develop reasoning skills.
However, I think that calculation, not very difficult, are important too, and that it doesn't exclude the others.
Otherwise it would be like saying that children don't need to learn multiplication tables because there are calculators.

# data[].attributes.body
I use often technology.
I use LIM and many softwares.

# data[].attributes.body
I use often technology in my classroom. The softwares and hardwares are importan to connect reality and maths. The interactive board is fundamental in this type of work.

# data[].attributes.body
Technolgy is very important for my BEs students. They use book-reader, softwares for dyscalculi, LIM and software to manipulate objects.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology helps me a lot in my job, especially when some students need quick feedbacks or personalised quizzes. The dangers are related to little ability in manipulating real tools, such as rulers, protractors, compasses,... and managing the space, even on a sheet of paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is a good thing but we have to take care about abuse of technology. It is very hard to me to decide where to draw a line between plus and minus

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is great an for me something as simple as simple as taking a digital image of our maths work can be useful. The children love the interactive lessons on the whiteboard too.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are very happy to use technologies. Many of them have stimulated more doing or searching a video than writing or searching a text

# data[].attributes.body
A school without technology today can not exist. It can be useful for:
- Study issues before or after discussion in the classroom;
- Revise quickly the topics covered;
- Keep the historical memory of the work done;
- Film or record the work;
- Share the materials to review at home ...

# data[].attributes.body
The lessons are enjoyable for students when using technology. I use PowerPoint presentations, educational website, play with technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is very useful to engage students

# data[].attributes.body
I think that technology motivates students

# data[].attributes.body
I'm an ICT teacher too. I do my best to integrate digital technology ​to the subject topic being covered. Logo for shapes, Excel for numbers and graphs. A digital activity helps students to understand more, however it does not eliminate the need to make use of other media such as craft, pen and pencil method. Sometimes students have become too digitalised that they prefer using other media rather than technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital technologies can be extremely powerful in facilitating learning through engagement, differentiation, collaboration, and application. Sstudents are immersed in technology. We can teach about models and non-real things in correlation with reality. Itt is very simple to collaborate remotely and in a non-sinchronous way.The picture includes all the above.

# data[].attributes.body
all my students have a calculator. On secondary, they must have a scientific calculator where the students can draw curve, solve equations and can do stats , etc ..
I know that they can use their calculator to do most of the calculations, but i think it could be interesting also to know how to do some calculations.

Using applications (apps) on mobile devices, connecting them more applied mathematics, makes them more creative and they provide opportunities for collaborative activities, group activities (in class and outside of class, homework or school projects) for mutual learning (peer-learning) and to receive feedback from the teacher.
One obstacle could be the preparation of teachers in this area. So far, teachers who use mobile technologies alone documented, including online courses and rely on their own experience on the use of mobile devices and applications.

# data[].attributes.body
The children allready uses technology for all sorts of activities- be that for fun, for learning, for researching. It is our job to teach them how to become digitally literate.
Digital literacy refers to the ability to read and understand hypertext or multimedia texts, and includes understanding the pictures, sounds and text.
Specific skills encompassed by the term include making judgments about online sources,
Internet browsing, multimedia management structure, communication through Internet.

In Italy I follewed a master the use of new technologies in teaching, organized by Politecnico of Milano. I wuold fint it hard to think of a teaching without TIC

With the help of new technologies we can do interactive lessons but there are also negative effects.

Digital natives needs digital approach. I use Geogebra to show students geometric shapes properties.

With technology it's easier to explore math, talk about it and visualize it and further more link it to daily life. I also love the link to programming like in Python:
number=int(input("Give me a number: "))
sqr=number*number
print("The square number of that number is: " +sqr)
and "the dancing math students" from my students :-)

Visualising math concepts (which brings understanding of abstract concepts) and programming (which brings understanding of math procedures) are, from my point view, the main reasons of using digital technologies in maths. One of the main problems in using digital technologies in maths is that now, we don't have computers/ tablets... for each student (or for each pair of students) in the classroom. If there is only a computer/ tablet in the classroom is not about using technologies in maths. On the other hand, the teachers should know how digital technologies can be used in maths. More, final exams still focus on calculations done without digital technologies ..... so, somehow, using digital technologies in maths is similar to implementing a math education reform.

# data[].attributes.body
Since mathematical concepts and logic lie at the heart of the computer’s function, it comes as no surprise that the study of mathematics and the use of ICT may be profitably intermingled. The concepts of algorithm, function, operation and set all have concrete manifestation in the world of computers to parallel their abstraction in mathematics. Mathematics and the computer can combine to appeal to our multiple intelligences and raise the stakes for capability in learning mathematics.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree to use technology in maths classroom because it can help my students to understand better what I try to explain. I regularly use flipped classroom ​because it's important that my help during the classroom is on the practice, collaborative and investigate activities. I use a lot of app for different aims. Students with learning difficulties can enjoy the lessons without any problems. They can use the ipad or their smartphone to partecipate the lessons. I don't think there are some downsides or dangers of using digital technologies in Maths classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I watched the proposed ​video few years ago and I was impressed by it and took some ideas I use in my day by day practice as a teacher even if I forgot it and remembered just after seeing it again. I agree with the fact that we are teaching a beautiful and useful subject focusing on the worst part of it: calculation! Teachers feel comfortable with this way of teaching and students prefer to memorize an algorithm, process or rule instead of been asked of a deeper understanding and reasoning. Digital technologies can be the key to change the paradygm of teaching, but we have to be more prepared about it and distinguish between a cosmetic use of technology (the medium changes, the message is the same) and a real revolution on what we teach, what the students are asked and how we assess the work of them. I'm really concerned about being able to make this change because even if I know that's the right direction, I'm not always respecting on my practice and I feel imprisoned on the old model and on the requirements of my school, where the target of the final exam at the end of the fifth year conditions all the path of the students.

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching math shouldn't reduce only on calculations. Teaching math is much more. Math is the best way to teach problem solving and real-life modeling. That's way the use of computer and technology should be used in a way they allow student to better understand the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
Todays children grow up using technology so it is only natural to include it into our classrooms. But, I think it should be done to a certain measure, as a tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I think, the only danger is when we put technology as a goal and not as a tool to teach. Every of my students is more engaged and more interested in the work when we use technology in the classroom, regardless of whether we practice or learn.
Also the use of technology allows students with all kinds of difficulties to more easily and quickly are participating in the work.

# data[].attributes.body
My students follow a blanded use of technology and traditional laboratory approach in teaching and learning but ICT is only  used to model, simulate situations and test hypotheses related to reality

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that using compensatory instruments such as the calculator is very useful to overcome the dyscalculic students or with problems in calculating mechanically their rock and bring them closer to mathematics as well., but it is often important to teach everyone in general how and when appropriate to use it. technological tools should help, but never sostutuire the person or be used as scorciatioia to first. it takes a conscious use

# data[].attributes.body
I think  the video explains very clearly the topic. I definitely agree with the use of calculators since primary school, for example. In my classes young students (since the first class) are invited to understand when it worth or not, and so I ask them to learn how to calculate in mind, because we demonstrate the cases in which is faster than using the calculator (obviously a lot of parents protest...and don't give them at all the calculator). Children (and their parents too) have to understand that math is not calculation, but the way I can answer a question using it. Besides, for children with specific problems, as the dyscalculia, the digital technologies are essential, if they know what are going to do, of course... And this is the condition for everyone, if not we are using the technologies as another way to don't make students think on math focus.

# data[].attributes.body
Teaching Maths with the aid of ICT is more attractive and interesting for the students. For example tools like Geogebra are fantastic for Geometry.
I also use logic games in my classroom to try to improve their skills and logical thinking structures.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree to use digital tools in the classroom; math isn't calculations, but logic and thinking. I often use the technologies in the classroom; they are also used to collaborate better, serve to the pupils and with learning disorders and allow students to focus on the processes, on the thought and not on calculations.

# data[].attributes.body
I am totally in favor of using in school all type of device: moviles, tablets, etc, since they help to the compression of the mathematics. The use of any technological tool in the classroom, although it can help some students to find reasons, to make a better learning.
Although there is still a long way to go, teachers can not close their eyes to what is happening around us and is that teens increasingly use mobile devices and concentrate less on a long explanation.

# data[].attributes.body
The school has the task of helping new generations of positive use what science makes available. The use of any technological tool in the classroom, elthough it may help some students find reasons,  it is certainly not sufficient either to guarantee the permanence of the motivation nor to encourage a reflective and conscious learning. In Mathematics Education, although there is still much to learn, technological tools can have a crucial role. In fact,
they can be used as mediators in the process of teaching and learning in mathematics,  from the meaning rich fields of experience for students

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Conrad Wolfram that nowadays teaching maths is the first target more than teaching calculation by hand.  Students are completely confident with computers and new technologies. They know that there will always be a machine that will do calculus for them.......they just have to know which calculus the machine has to do for them. So let's drive their education in this direction. It will be more useful for their every-day life. I know that this implies a total revolution in the way of teaching math but we do not have to be afraid of changes. Pf

# data[].attributes.body
The digital technologies can help us teach mathematics to our students because they arouse much interest and much curiosity, because they are an incentive to the discovery or the rediscovery and exploration of concepts, because they stimulate communication, reflection and mathematical collaboration, and because many digital tools are an important support for problem solving.

# data[].attributes.body
In maths we can use computer algebra systems; dynamic geometry environments; interactive applets; handheld computation, data collection, and analysis devices. These technologies support students in exploring and identifying mathematical concepts and relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
I teach mathematics and I make much use of the technology in this way my students are more interested

# data[].attributes.body
Math is connected to tehnology -its important for new generations to learn how to use tehnology during solving of some math problem. Especially functions, geometry etc. Our students lear in different way - using IT is so easy for them.So give them oportunity to learn Math in their, more interesting way.

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology is very helpful to teach maths and other sciences such as physics, electronics.... Mathematical softwares (Maple, Geogebra...) help students and teachers to learn a lot of concepts, in particular to draw graphic functions or solve complex equations. The computer work of students must, however, be watched to avoid that students use computer tools to distract!

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology allowed us to captivate students and improve their learning of Maths concepts. It´s a way of teaching that uses visual skills, intuition and logical thinking. Sometimes it´s hard for us teachers because there is so much information and I do fill outdated a lot of times. But technology is all around us and it´s our challenge to include it on our practices. I agree with video so much: we need to learn Maths because of technical jobs, everyday living and logical mind train and it´s all about technology!

I think tecnology is a new important tool that we have. We capture children's  attention..
While they play they learn

# data[].attributes.body
I think technology should be a tool that enhances learning, infact it encourages interactivity, can promote effective communication about learning and some technologies help logistically.
The students can problem solving across content areas, they can explore and interact with multiple mathematical rapresentations, can explore relationships between mathematical concept.
The students are motivated because they can receive immediate feedback and extend learning beyond the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I teach mathematics in primary school and I make much use of digital technologies and above use the IWB. I noticed that the students are more attentive and more interested in the lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
I think digital technology helps us being up to date on what's going around in our time and allow us to use a modern way to teach "old fashion knowledge"! As technology in youngsters' life becomes a must i believe maths should incorporate (when applicable) new ways to deliver their message.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this Wolfram's video is very impressive and I agree with Dan Meyer when he said that "Maths needs a makeover". I Think that doing math should be more and more that make long expressions of additions or radicals or loghatims and so on. For this reason I think that technology could improve the understanding of the meanings' problems.

I think that techonology can change the role of students on their on learning, if we use the available resources  to  make them experiment, generalize or visualize , they can act, be part of their on learning and Knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning by using technology , at my opinion ,is one of the three components traditional teaching , technology , learning outdoors . So technology is an important alternative in teaching . It can be used during all the lesson or in a part of lesson . Actually I haven't had the possibility to have any digital lesson, except in the project in which there are pupils that use it to present their work. I read what Eleni from Greece has written and I agree totally with her , but only for the actual situation , i am optimist that in a nearly future i will use the technology in my teaching , because the technology I see more important for many reasons , as my colleagues have written before. One strong reason why we have to use technology at our teaching is to make Math more attractive to the students , not bored , because the reality in which they live asks to use this method.

# data[].attributes.body
Tecnology and software like CAS (Geogebra, Cymath, Wolphram Alpha) can help students with gaps to
overcome difficulties of calculation

# data[].attributes.body
I think tecnology simulates creativity and collaboration between students

# data[].attributes.body
I am totally for using digital technologies in Maths classroom, but this requires a basic condition: MONEY for education! I teach at a secondary school in a small island in Greece, where, you know, we have less than 10 computers in working order for 106 students and 17 teachers. I hope everyone here understands that it is practically impossible to use computers in our everyday classes. We can only do this 1-2 times per year. The major problem is that we do not have the tools to do this kind of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Kids aged 11-14 already use technology for recreational purposes. Sometimes these devices and tools like pc, smartphones, apps, social networks or instant messages are used in a very wrong way and we've social problems like cyber-bullying. So I think it's important to teach to our students how they can exploit these means in a more productive way, to improve their learning and communication abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
I use a Geogebra in my math class for Geometry. Also I use Kahoot for short exams. Students love it!

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion technologies help children to grow more responsable of their own learning, and allowing them to do by themselves, give their learning the taste of satisfaction for the achieved results. The little ones can make big things!

# data[].attributes.body
I use new technologies in my classroom because we have one to one iPads. So it's really easy to use geogebra, Scratch or other tools and students really like it. The danger is that when they're not busy, they play with ipads or send mails to other students in the classroom !

# data[].attributes.body
The integration of technology in mathematics education is a subtle question, and that success and failure occur at levels of learning, teaching and research.

I believe that computer is an useful tool in teaching, that facilitate the activities of teachers and  student's understanding . I think, though, that it is important to keep the manual work, writing, drawing, cut or bend a sheet that stimulate  the thought, the space organization, coordination and more else.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should teach maths using digital technologies and helping students to become aware about the meaning of the outcomes. For example, sometimes, my students use their calculator without awareness and they find out a result that seems right but they don't wonder if such a result does make sense.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's students are digital natives. Bring technology in teaching mathematics means bring them into their world, make them feel comfortable in their environment. In this way, they will no longer have the excuse of being bored in math lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Two different (and complementary ) uses:
- technology in Maths: calculators and graph programs allow work with real values [this is the one we should be talking about!]
- technology in education: videos and ppts create new dinamics in the lesson

# data[].attributes.body
By using the technologies in the Maths classroom, I think that we motivate students, we make them curious (these kids have the technology in their blood).
We can show them math concepts beautifully presented, real world situations.
But, the technology can't replace the work of the teacher or of the student.

# data[].attributes.body
We must not be afraid of using technology in our classes. Technology is a bridge between adults and millennials. As teachers we have to be facilitators of knowledge!

It is very important that students know and use advanced technologies.It helps to be up to date, but the explanations offered by the teacher can not be replaced by anyone or anything.

In my class we use digital technologies, not as much as we would like, but we get the opportunity every time we've got it.
Sometimes I let a video in the classroom blog and students have to watch it to work next day in class. Other time videos or files are given to the students to practice or revise some contents.
Some days we solve problems or activities in class using the class computer, but we have only one computer in each classroom.
For me using technologies is a very good way to exchange students to maths

# data[].attributes.body
Every time, me and my students are using digital technologies, we are challenged to find different ways to express our solution the best way possible. The danger of current using of these digital technologies is the fact that we are programming a tool in order of obtaining the solution and we might forget what is the direct path to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons that digital technologies can help students in mathematics Invetarul are:
- Provides a quick calculation
- Offers a quick way to check the result of a calculation
- Provides a real representation model for a mathematical model
- Is emphasizing visual memory
- Help establish diverse mathematical knowledge through repetition
- Offers a broader application math through play

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with the statement that it is important to touch Maths: this subject has to become something closer and you don't need to manipulate calculations to understand it. I'm dyslexic and dyscalculic but when I was young these things were not known and nobody cared of them. Making mistakes in calculations I got  degree in Maths. But I studied ICT as a branch as Maths because I probably felt that even my distraction could be corrected by a computer. And it worked. I love programming and I love finding am algorithm to avoid repeating things. I love using Excel and Geogebra in my classes. Fpr instance, for students the number e is very difficult to understand. They don't accept it is a number. It is a strange thing. Pi is different, as they used many times in their previous school years, but e is different. So, when I have to introduce it, I take a spreadsheet and I show them that e is e number, it is the limit to what goes the succession (1+1/n)^n. After that I realized that students don't hate it so much as before. It is a "strange" number that seems a vowel, but they now what it is. But if you use Maths in the way Conrad Wolfram shows, opening the formulas and complicating things, it can be frightening for students. Maths is beauty and cleanness, it is a gift we must give to our students, not a something to be worried about...

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important to use digital technologies in Mats because this way we have infinite opportunities to learn kids about everything in an engaging and funny manner.
